❄️ Welcome to Day 10 of the 12 Days of AI Plays!
Today’s mission is all about custom element generation using Omni — and we’re taking it straight into the heart of Santa’s Delivery Routes operation.
Every delivery route spans a number of houses across a region, and Santa needs precise addresses and coordinates to optimize his journey. In this challenge, you’ll use AI to generate fictional but region-appropriate addresses, map them, and bring Santa’s delivery paths to life inside an Airtable Interface.
By the end, you’ll have an interactive, color-coded delivery map built entirely with AI support.
Your Mission
-
Open your copy of the Holiday Operations HQ (or make a copy here)
-
Navigate to the Delivery Routes table.
-
You’ll create two custom field agents and then ask Omni to build a mapped interface.
This is a great opportunity to experiment with AI prompts until the results feel consistent and realistic.
Your Challenge
Step 1: Generate Region-Based Addresses
Each Delivery Route record includes a Region and a Number of Houses Covered field.
Create a new field agent called AI Addresses and prompt Omni to generate addresses that fall within that region.
Try a prompt like:
“Generate fictional household addresses located within the region listed in the Region field. Return them as a list, and the number of addresses returned should match the “Number of Houses Covered” field.”
You may need to refine your wording to get clean, region-specific address sets. This is all part of the experimentation!
Step 2: Generate Coordinates for Each Address
Create another AI field called AI Coordinates.
Prompt example:
“For each address listed in the AI Addresses field, generate plausible fictional latitude/longitude coordinates appropriate for the region.”
Make sure your output returns a structured list that pairs neatly with each address.
Step 3: Ask Omni to Build a Map Interface
Once your table includes addresses and coordinates, turn your attention to visualization.
Ask Omni to create a new Interface page with a Map element that plots each house along the delivery route.
Prompt example:
“Create a new interface that includes a map component plotting all addresses from the AI Coordinates field. Use a different color for the houses assigned to each delivery route.”
Encourage Omni to:
-
Use route-specific colors
-
Group data by Region or Delivery Route Name
-
Add filtering controls for Santa’s dispatch team
You now have a custom visual tool for Santa’s navigation crew.
Optional Extras
-
Add an AI-generated “Route Difficulty Rating” based on terrain or spread of coordinates.
-
Generate AI notes on weather risks for each coordinate cluster.

Goal of Today’s Play
Today’s challenge highlights how Omni can help you build custom structural elements — fictional addresses, geocoded coordinates, and visual maps — from scratch.
This mirrors real workflows like:
-
Field logistics
-
Delivery planning
-
Region-based resource allocation
-
Geographic data enrichment
-
Prototyping location-based products
With AI handling the heavy lifting, even Santa’s trickiest routes become manageable.
